​BTEC ASSESSMENTS AND AWARDS

​Summary Of BTEC Program Levels And Accreditation

​Britain has a long history of education and is world-renowned for offering very high standard of education. This makes the UK a huge draw for students looking to study abroad. ​

​

Pearson is the UK's largest awarding organisation offering academic, vocational and work-based learning qualifications, including BTEC, Edexcel and LCCI.

BTEC is short name for Business and Technology Education Council. ​The level 5 and level 7 diplomas on the bachelor and master degree-pathways are awarded by BTEC Examination Board.

​

BTEC is approved and accredited by OFQUAL and QCA. The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) maintains and develops the national curriculum and associated assessments, tests and examinations; and accredits and monitors qualifications in colleges and at work.

The BTEC awards are recognized globally, affordable, practical and transferable to final year/s of Universities in the UK, all 50 US States, and Canada. Over 5,000 universities world-wide indicated they will take on BTEC HND and PgD students for final year entry.

WES reviewed the Level 5 Higher National Diploma as 60 Credits towards the bachelor’s degree. That is, 'two years of undergraduate' and the BTEC Level 7 Professionals as equivalent to 'Graduate Certificates’. That is, one year of the master’s degree. Worldwide Education Services (WES) is used by nearly all US Universities and the US Government for assessing foreign credentials and determining their equivalency to US programs.

The International Education Research Foundation (IERF) produced recommendations on BTEC equivalency to U.S. degree-level programs. Students with BTEC HND qualifications may be entitled to the following credit exemptions from U.S. degree-level programs: 'Equivalent to up to 60 semester credits. Modules have values of 6 or 1, so approximately 4 credits and ½ credit, respectively.

The University Council Of Jamaica has reviewed UK Level 5 Higher National Diploma for learners and determined that the award is comparable to 60 Credits and equivalent to the Associate Degree in Jamaica.

Undergraduate students start classes on-campus in Jamaica or attend from anywhere by joining online. Students earn the Level 5 Higher Nationals in 20/24 months then transfer directly onto final year/s of university to complete the bachelor degree.

Graduate students start the Level 7 Professional by distant learning and study for 12/16 months then transfer directly onto final year/s of university to complete the master degree.

Because BTEC is a degree pathway program the learners will usually start their degree journey at Colbourne College and upon earning the BTEC Diploma, the destination of these learners is final year of university in the United States, Canada or United Kingdom. Students may also study on the degree year wholly distant learning, but attend their graduation ceremony on-campus abroad.

​

In 2015, over 25% of the students entering University in England did so with a BTEC qualification. In 2017 that number doubled.

BTEC Program promoted by AIM-USA are: International Travel And Tourism Management (Aviation); Aviation Operations; Business Study (HRM, Accounting, Aviation Management and Business Management); and Strategic Management and Leadership. Healthcare Administration and Assessment Management will commence in 2019.

Because AIM-USA is consistently developing cooperation with top US, UK & Canadian universities to transfer the learners, your future is in secure hands.
